Your guide to this year’s Met Gala - BBC World Service

تفصیل

The Met Gala is the super bowl of fashion. It’s a relatively small event, only open to a small number of invited guests - usually around 450.

And every invitee has to be signed off by ex-Vogue editor Anna Wintour. Celebs go out of their way to impress on the red carpet. Think Rihanna’s legendary yellow dress or Kim Kardashian’s ‘wet look’. But this year’s Met Gala feels a little bit different - partly because of it being sponsored by Amazon founder Jeff Bezos, and his wife Lauren Sanchez Bezos. Not everyone’s happy about a tech billionaire being involved. Journalist Amy Odell (author of Anna: The Biography) has even called this year’s event ‘Tech Gala’. She joins us to explain why. We also chat about the super high ticket prices and why protest posters have been popping up around New York City.
